This Bronx-born destination for “authentic” Mexican home cooking resurfaces in Prospect Heights with “delicious” familiar favorites and unexpected offerings that are “not for the meek palate” , plus a full bar; the “small” space “can get crowded super-fast” and doesn’t take reservations.

Harlem experienced quite a loss when El Atoradero relocated. But Harlem's loss is Brooklyn's gain, and I was very happy to have such fabulous Mexican so accessible to me. Eating here brings me straight back to Oaxaca. Get adventurous and try the lengua. If brunching, go for the filling chilaquiles. It's small, so prepare to wait - it's worth it.

The torta ahogado is low key one of the best guilty pleasures around and eating one is the only time it’s acceptable to eat a sandwich with a fork. Their homemade tortillas instantly make anything else on the menu better than you’re used to getting in NYC

Went there for a work Christmas party. The food was sub par, the service was a disappointment, the drinks were limited, and the entire group left "dinner" to get something to eat before we went elsewhere for drinks. Too bad.
